body in GAINESVILLE had made me
present of a sett of tools for the BUSH

strated me to the country to collect a
lot of old subscriptions to the
CHRONICLE. On my road in bug
gy, friend hailed me to ride, and |
kindly let him in. We got across

fearful noise as If a donkey was in

tinctly. l asked him what 1t was,
and he told ire it was old man
Tweedles who lived about mile
from where we were, and that he
was suffering from a disease of the
nose that made him bray that way
Gracious! said /, there is a chance to

about my diploma and he agreed to
go to Tweedles' home with me. We
| walked half mile from the main
road to his house, and found his wife
and daughter terribly distressed, but
they consented to let me operate on
him. Old Tweedles nose holes APP
peared as large as musk rat holes
along a creek, and his prohnscis
was swelled as large as two bacon

from new disease, but / was moi

Going home from church last Sun
day night I witnessed an act of gal
lantry that i thought took the cake.
A young man with his ''dulcina7 on
his left arm suddenly came up to a
large sized mud hole in the pave
ment, and this was filed with snow
and slush. There was no way to get
round it except by getting out into
the street and of course that would
not do because they both would have
sunk over their heads in mud. He
looked for sometime at the place, and
then suddenly throwing his head
back, said; "Oh yes Miss Rebecca,
/ know how we will get across" and
into the mud hole he stepped and
stuck one foot out SO she could step
on it, and grasping her hand in his,
gave signal to leap, and away she
went, like Kansas prasshopper, and
landed safely on the other side, The
gentlemans boots were fearfully
soiled by the transaction, but Miss
Rebacca no doubt was saved from a
future case of pneumonia. The pub
lie must not think that all the side
walks of GAINESVILLE are bad. nay,
nay, Pauline, they are not, they are
not.

BLOOD AND MONEY.

The blood of man has much to do in shap'
ing his actions during his pilgrimage through
this troublesome world, regardless OF the
amount of present or expectant money in
pocket or stored away in bank. 1t is a conce-
ded fact that we appear as our blood makes
us, and the purer the blood, the happier,
healthier, prettier and wiser we are; hence the
oft repeated interrogatory, "how is your
blood?h With pure streams of iife-giving
fluid coursing through our veins, bounding
through our hearts and ploughing through
our physical frames, our morals become bet
ter, our constitution stronger, our intellectual
faculties more acute and grander and men,
women and children happier, healthier and
more lovely.
The unprecedented demand, the unparal-
leled curative powers, and the unmistakabe
proof from those of unimpeachable character
and integrity, point with an unerring finger
to B. b. B.-Botanic Blood Balm-as far the
best, the cheapest, the quickest and the grand
est and most powerful blood remedy ever be-
fore known TO mortal man, in the relief and
positive cure of Scrofula, rheumatism, Skin
diseases, all taints of blood poison, Kidney
complaints, old ulcers and sores, cancers, ca
tarrh, etc.
b. b. B. is only about three years old-a ba-
by in age, a giant in power-but no remedy
in America can make or ever has made such a
wonderful showing in its magical powers III
curing and entirely eradicating the above
complaints, and gigantic sales in the face OF
frenzied opposition and would-be moneyed
monOpolists.
Letters from all points where introduced
are pouring in upon us. speaking in the loud
est praise Some say they receive more bene-
fit from one bottle of b. B. b than they have
from twenty, thirty and fifty and even one
hundred bottles of boasted decoction of inert
and non-medicinal roots and branches of com
mon forest trees We hold the broof in black
and white, and we also hold tho fort.
All who desire full information about the
cause and cure of Blood Poisons, Scrofula and

announcement Extraordinary.

Mr.. Joseph F. Kennerly, of Clarke
county, thus announces his candidacy for
magistrate:
WHITE Posi-, VA, Mar. l, 1887.
Having been urgently entreated by
the voters of Greenway district to become
candidate for the Office Of magistrate,
and having eptreated, much more urgent
ly, said voters for their support, hereby
announce myself as a candidate. Pos
sessing, as believe do, natural turn
for law, and an inordinate hankering af-
ter litigation, l consider that ! will be
eminently qualified TO adjudicate all
"matters of fact and points Of law"
which may arise between our people, and
to decide all intricate questions of meum
and tenn which may be presented to my
judicial eye, and to decide them not only
impartially, but to the entire satisfaction
of both parties, causing the loser to be-
lieve he was the winner, and the winner
to believe he was not loser, thereby intro
ducing new departure in modern juris-
prudence, and sending it down the long
annals of time, that there stood ONE just
and righteous judge. To the virtuous
and well-doer | will be an example, a
comfort and an encouragement; to the
vicious and depraved l will be as a con-
suming fire, though tempering at all
times stern, relentless justice, with the
God-like behests of mercy; to the liti-
gious, as before stated, | will cause them
to believe that it is the most delightful
sensation of life to be at loggerheads one
with another, and that there is no better
investment in the world than to be con.
stantly at law. To my colored friends |
declare that my judicial decisions shall
not be in favor of white skin more
than black one, and that this court
will not discriminate between the "lillies
of the field" "black jack" or "YALLER
pine" The Office being one of much
honor and great profit, | particularly de-
sire it, but more especially as a stepping
stone from which the welcome summons
will soon come, "come thou up higher,
thou good and faithful servant, and enter
into the blissful life" in the marble halls
of legislation, and add one more to the
long list of brilliant statesmen Clarke
has given to the councils of our State.
Yours truly, j. F. KENNERLY.
